Officer Down Memorial Page

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 2nd anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.

I pray for solace for all that love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever. Your family is in my heart's embrace. Thanks to your friends for sharing their memories and devotion to you through their reflections.

Rest In Peace.

Bryan,

I met Brandy & Brayden @ National Police Week. They are amazing! I'm sendin Brayden a collection of Police patches from all over the state of Indiana. My husband is an office here in Mishawaka & lost his best friend in Dec. 2003. His name was Bryan as well. I hope to keep in touch with Brandy & Brayden. We have a 6 year old too! Hopefully they can meet one day!

It has been almost a year since your life ended so suddenly. There has not been a day go by that I do not think about some of those hilarious moments that we shared during work. You were the true definition of a Police Officer, always willing to help and always displaying a smile that seemed to make things better no matter the situation. I wish I could have known you longer but for the time I did, I am a better person for it. Thank you for your service and GOD BLESS.

I come to the ODMP often to remember my late fiancé Dennis. Every time I come here it breaks my heart to know that yet another officer has fallen and that yet another family has to live their lives without the officer they loved. My heart goes out to everyone who knew and loved Officer Durman. Know that you are not alone in the "journey" that you walk. Should you ever need anything please don't hesitate to contact me. (The Davis Co. Sheriff's Office in Iowa will always know how to reach me. I can also be found on Face Book.) You will be in my thoughts.

From reading the reflections left for Bryan, he sounds like he was a great man with a beautiful spirit. Those of you who knew him in life were so blessed to have been able to share in it. I hope that you will all continue to find a way to celebrate and remember Bryan's life and the MAN that he was. Remember that Bryan's life was about so much more than the way he died. Bryan will continue to live on as long as we continue to remember him.

Officer Durman, thank you for helping to make this world a little safer for us all. YOU will not be forgotten. Please continue to watch over all of us as only you can. If you happen to bump into my late fiancé Dennis up there give him a big hug for me and the kids. It's been seven years and a half years but he's still very much missed and forever loved.

Wishing you brighter and better days,


Jocelyne :)

Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep

I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am the graceful rush of
beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each and every lovely thing.

Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.

May God hold your loving wife and son in His arms in the days and months to come. Rest in peace, Brother, we'll take it from here.

To the family of Bryan Durman,

My heart goes out you all!!! I am the sister of Officer Jason Cammack, KVE Officer killed in the Line of Duty on April 23, 2000. My family understands what you are going though on this very sad day. To his wife, and son please remember Bryan will always be with you in your hearts. He will be watching over you at all times. He will always be your guardian angel.I could set here all day and tell you the things that you will go though, but I won't. Just take one day at a time and always talk about him and keep his memeory alive. To his sisters and brothers, I truly understand Jason was my baby brother and even though it has been 10 years, I still remeber him every single day. I talk about him to people that didn't even know him and by the time I am finished they have an idea what a great person he was.This website has really helped me. I get on here and talk to Jason all the time. And to his Mom and Dad, I really can't understand what this is doing to you. I just know what my Mom and Dad go though everyday. God Bless you all and I love you all!!!
